These examples are {{Zero Context Example}}s, and need more details.

* Johan Liebert, [[Anime/{{Monster}} the eponymous Monster]].
* Michio Yuki from \\\'\\\'{{MW}}\\\'\\\', who was the prototype for Johan.
* Yami Bakura and Yami Marik from \\\'\\\'Anime/YuGiOh\\\'\\\'. The first one is far deadlier than you think and you\\\'ll learn why in the \\\"Dawn of the Duel\\\" arc.
* Frieza from \\\'\\\'Manga/DragonBall Z\\\'\\\' fits most of this to a T. As does Cell for that matter (maybe he inherited it from Frieza\\\'s cells!)
** \\\'\\\'\\\'KID BUU.\\\'\\\'\\\' [[EarthShatteringKaboom If you blow up the Earth just for shits and giggles,]] [[JeffFoxworthy you might be a sociopath.]]
* MadScientist Akihiro Kurata from \\\'\\\'Anime/DigimonSavers\\\'\\\'.
* The UnreliableNarrator and VillainProtagonist Itsuki (Boku) Kamiyama from \\\'\\\'Manga/{{Goth}}\\\'\\\'.
* The [[KickTheDog H]][[TheWorfEffect u]][[InvincibleVillain c]][[SmugSnake k]][[JerkAss e]][[LackOfEmpathy be]][[ItsAllAboutMe in]] [[BadassFamily fa]][[BigScrewedUpFamily mily]] of \\\'\\\'MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce\\\'\\\'.
* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, ArchEnemy of {{Batman}}.
* Gideon Graves of ScottPilgrim.
** Professor Padraic Ratigan from \\\'\\\'Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective\\\'\\\', natch.
* FanFic/{{Alex}} from the \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/AdventureTime\\\'\\\' fanfic named after her.
* Nicky Santaro in \\\'\\\'Film/{{Casino}}\\\'\\\'. And speaking of mobsters played by JoePesci, Tommy De Simone in {{Goodfellas}} probably counts as well.
* \\\'\\\'{{Heathers}}\\\'\\\' features Jason Dean, who is originally seen as simply TroubledButCute before revealing himself as one of these.
* The Scorpio Killer from \\\'\\\'Film/DirtyHarry\\\'\\\'.
* As you later [[MoralEventHorizon find out]] in the film \\\'\\\'Film/{{Chinatown}}\\\'\\\', [[spoiler:Noah Cross]].
* Peter and Paul, the protagonists from the film \\\'\\\'FunnyGames\\\'\\\'.
* [[spoiler:Aaron Stampler]] from the film \\\'\\\'PrimalFear\\\'\\\'.
* Frederick \\\"Junior\\\" Frenger from the film \\\'\\\'Miami Blues\\\'\\\' is a textbook example.
* Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday are gradually revealed to be sociopaths as \\\'\\\'Film/ThereWillBeBlood\\\'\\\' progresses.
* Waldo Lydecker from 1944\\\'s \\\'\\\'{{Laura}}\\\'\\\'.
** His son Ramsay (who is a sadistic serial killer) is more of a typical sociopath.
* [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Some interpretations]] of SherlockHolmes. Another, probably much straighter example is Sherlock\\\'s EvilCounterpart Moriarty.
* PsychoForHire Anton Chigurh from \\\'\\\'NoCountryForOldMen\\\'\\\' is a particularly potent example.
* Razim from \\\'\\\'Literature/AlexRider\\\'\\\' is this [[UpToEleven to an unbelievable degree]].
* The 13 year-old piano student [[spoiler:who ruins Reiko\\\'s life]] in NorwegianWood.
* [[AlphaBitch Massie]] the VillainProtagonist from \\\'\\\'TheClique\\\'\\\'.
** The Ice Truck Killer, [[spoiler:Miguel Prado]], Jordan, Travis, Trinity and Lilah also count.
* \\\'\\\'{{Profit}}\\\'\\\': Jim Profit
* Around half of the cast of \\\'\\\'Series/{{Oz}}\\\'\\\', most notable with Simon Adebisi and Chris Keller.
* Serial killer Hoyt from \\\'\\\'RizzoliAndIsles\\\'\\\'.
* [[BigBad Servalan]] of \\\'\\\'Series/BlakesSeven\\\'\\\' is another rare female example.
* The Master from \\\'\\\'Series/DoctorWho\\\'\\\' is this with a generous helping of [[AGodAmI megalomania]].
* Kefka Palazzo of \\\'\\\'VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI\\\'\\\', is a particularly over the top example of this.
* Likewise, the jester Dimentio from \\\'\\\'VideoGame/SuperPaperMario\\\'\\\'.
* The \\\'\\\'{{Suikoden}}\\\'\\\' series has a few, with the most exemplary examples being [[SuikodenII Luca Blight]] and [[SuikodenV Childerich]].
* One of the more unstable versions of this trope is Albedo Piazolla from the \\\'\\\'VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}\\\'\\\' series, particularly in Episode 1.
* Purple Eyes from \\\'\\\'VideoGame/PokemonRanger\\\'\\\' :Guardian Signs depending on how you look at it.
* Kratos from \\\'\\\'VideoGame/GodOfWar\\\'\\\' would definitly qualify, for oh so many reasons. That is, if you don\\\'t just take it a step further.
* \\\'\\\'Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick\\\'\\\': Xykon, even before he became an undead abomination.
** And Belkar, of the Comedic sort.
* Mozenrath from \\\'\\\'Disney/{{Aladdin}}\\\'\\\' the series.
* The BigBad of Season 1 of WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}, Prince Phobos.
* Starscream from \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime\\\'\\\'.
* El Malefico from \\\'\\\'{{Mucha Lucha}}\\\'\\\':The Return of El Malefico.
** Other characters, like Mr. Burns (especially in the season 1-7), Sideshow Bob and Cecil Terwilliger are not far behind.
* In \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars\\\'\\\', [[spoiler: Darth Maul]] fits all the criteria to qualify as one.

This is a form of WeblinksAreNotExamples, and needs details.
